I absolutely loved the gluten-free coating on the halibut since I'm not a fan of tempura-style batter. The Tanner crab was amazing, and the fried pickles were also great, though the portion was huge (definitely too much for one person). Service was excellent both nights. The bartenders were really friendly, and the food came out quickly and smoothly. The interior is also super cute, kind of an old-school lounge vibe with lots of velvet. There's a neon sign that says "city where the fun shines," which adds to the fun atmosphere. Such a great dinner spot in Seward.

First, the place looks like1985 retired inside in a good way. The bar in lined in plush red fabric and the photos, decor and chairs all are retro to the max but what did the food taste like? So I ordered the smash burger and roasted mini Yukon gold potatoes with creme and bacon. The burger was kinda charred I guess but still good, the server never asked how I wanted it cooked so that was a HUGE minus, but it wasn't bad just not great, the flavor was good, the veggies were fresh, just not great! The potatoes were the star of the show! They were perfectly seasoned and the creme and bacon sauce was MONEY!! They literally melt in your mouth and were roasted perfectly without being mushy. The service was good, the vibe was super chill. The place is kinda pricey for what you get but that is everything in this little town. I will be back to try some other things eventually.

We started with the crab dip and it came out bubbling hot, like actually hot, with plenty of bread for dipping, which I feel like is rare and deserves recognition. Super solid appetizer choice. For mains, we ordered the Bacon Blue Burger and the Alpine Berry Burger. The Alpine Berry was supposed to have a spicy berry jam, and I'll be honest... there wasn't really any spice to it. BUT it was still really good, so no complaints there, just don't go in expecting heat. The space itself is great too, two levels, a bar upstairs, and a back patio that would be such a good spot in the summer. Overall, really good experience for a first visit and definitely somewhere I'd recommend checking out if you're in Seward.

Several different locals had all recommended The Cookery for a date night, and we'd enjoyed their other spot, Lone Chicharrón, so we took a chance. It took about 15 minutes to get a table for two. The dining area is hip and funky, but also clean and spacious. Our server was a pro and got us sorted on drinks. I really enjoyed her suggested local beer, the Ky PA. We didn't have anything we didn't like. The standouts for me were the mushroom toast, the shrimp and grits, and the Homer raw oysters. The roast halibut and seafood chowder were also really good. For dessert we had the grilled angel food cake with blueberries. They were out of the lemon tarragon sorbet, but subbed in the chocolate coconut sorbet, and it was still very good. Overall a great final meal in Seward. Glad we stopped by!

All dishes were cooked perfectly again. The fried chicken was lightly breaded and sat on top of an Asian slaw that was the perfect acidity to balance with the fried chicken. The grits had the right texture and was delicious. My halibut was seasoned with tons of flavor and cooked to perfection. Do you see a theme here? We sat near where the cook and prep the dishes before going to their respective tables. This place hums like a well oiled engine. Going to the owner's sister restaurant tomorrow and can't wait.
